| kezdi: Re: need proof of name | Bob,
Unfortunately or fortunately, it depends on view points I strongly disagree with it, The Dreyer Databases changes names coming from historical documents like Ellis Island as they believe the correct German spelling.
Anyway, based on "Drayer" I searched E.I. for E... Paka... and came up with this two, arriving in New York on the same day May 6,1911 on the same ship Amerika:
Pakanzan, Elizabeth Nakofalva, Hungary 24 1887 1911
Pakanzar, Elisabetha Nakofalva, Hungary 24 1887 1911
Studying further the Original Shipping Manifests, I come to the conclusion, that they're the same person.
The name of the first one along with the Keller family were crossed out, didn't made the supposed sailing from Hamburg on Apr.26,1911.
The second one indeed made the voyage without the Keller family with her, sailing on Apr.27,1911 from Cuxhaven, where the ship Amerika must have made a stop.
Although there are many spelling mistakes on E.I. documents, these two appears to be correctly transcribed except the name endings, may or may not be Pakazan the correct spelling, two more name possibilities for Frank.
